[SOLVED]Checkpoint problem... - FlawlessHappiness - 09-23-2012

I'm having a problem with checkpoints...

First the player "Falls to death", like they did in the real game.
Then the player spawns, and a cutscene small cutscene is playing. After that the player dies again, and the i want him to spawn another place, but instead he spawns in the same place, and the cutscene restarts...

Here is the script:

Spoiler below!



void OnStart()
{
SetLocalVarInt("FallToMentalState", 0);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "AreaFallDeath", "CollideFallDeath", false, 1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "AreaFall", "Fall", true, 1);
}


/////////////////
//FALL TO DEATH//

void CollideFallDeath(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
PlaySoundAtEntity("fallaaaaaah", "11_fall", "Player", 0, false);

FadeOut(1);

AddTimer("death1", 0.5f, "TimerFallDeath");
AddTimer("death2", 1, "TimerFallDeath");
}

void TimerFallDeath(string &in asTimer)
{
if(asTimer == "death1"){
PlaySoundAtEntity("bump1", "player_bodyfall", "Player", 0, false);
return;
}

if(GetLocalVarInt("FallToMentalState") == 0)
{
SetLocalVarInt("FallToMentalState", 1);
CheckPoint("", "MentalState", "MentalStateFunction", "DeathHints", "Ouch");
DisableDeathStartSound();
AddPlayerHealth(-200);

PlaySoundAtEntity("pain", "player_falldamage_max", "Player", 0, false);
PlaySoundAtEntity("bump2", "player_bodyfall", "Player", 0, false);
return;
}

CheckPoint("", "PlayerStartArea_2", "", "DeathHints", "Ouch");

DisableDeathStartSound();
AddPlayerHealth(-200);

PlaySoundAtEntity("pain", "player_falldamage_max", "Player", 0, false);
PlaySoundAtEntity("bump2", "player_bodyfall", "Player", 0, false);
}

Can anybody help me out here? What am i doing wrong?

RE: Checkpoint problem... - Your Computer - 09-23-2012

Checkpoint names need to be unique.

RE: Checkpoint problem... - FlawlessHappiness - 09-23-2012

You mean i have to write a new asName for it to work? Smile

RE: Checkpoint problem... - Vic7im - 09-25-2012

Wait.

You die, you respawn in A, you walk a little bit, cutscene plays, you die (again), you would like to respawn in B but instead you respawn in A?

Is that what you want to accomplish?

RE: Checkpoint problem... - FlawlessHappiness - 09-25-2012

That was what happened yea Wink But it's solved anyway. I thougt dying 2 times was too much, so instead i used fade-teleport
